 Security Impacts:

  • Global warming will cause longer, more devastating droughts, thus exacerbating the fight over the world’s water.
     

  • As sea levels rise, human migrations may occur, creating increased border tensions.
     

  • A study by IISS found that reduced water supplies and hotter temperatures mean “65 countries were likely to lose over 15 percent of their agricultural output by 2100.”

  Something to think about:


A group of 11 former U.S. military leaders released a report charging that the war in Somalia during the 1990s stemmed in part from national resource shortages caused by global warming
